Back to School Replay: Extracurricular Overkill




Homeschooling IRL show

Summary: On this week's special back to school replay with Fletch and Kendra, they talk about Extracurricular Overkill.  When is enough too much? On this episode of HomeschoolingIRL, Fletch and Kendra answer a letter from a listener who is wondering how to filter extracurricular activities into your homeschool. When should you say yes? When should you say no?<br> We invite good friends Nate and Ali Miller into the studio to talk through the topic of extracurricular overkill. Listen in as we discuss how they made the decision to pull back from gymnastics, swimming, baseball, and choir in their family of three pre-teens. We hope you are encouraged by this discussion of choosing extracurricular activities in your homeschool family.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> SHOW NOTES:<br> <br> Recommended Resources:<br> <br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://www.amazon.com/Just-Too-Busy-Radical-Sabbatical/dp/0834126095/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1459143805&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr2&amp;keywords=joan+kraft+just+too+busy">Joann Kraft - Just Too Busy</a><br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://twitter.com/bettythesurfdog" target="_blank">Betty The Surf Dog Twitter Feed</a> - Home of Betty the Surf Dog<br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://twitter.com/themangotimes" target="_blank">Fletch Twitter</a><br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://twitter.com/kendraefletcher" target="_blank">Kendra Twitter</a><br> Previous Episodes Mentioned:<br> <br> Music clips used on this episode:<br> Breathe In Breathe Out Move On - <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/breathe-in-breathe-out-move-on/id551486190?i=551486203">Buy it on iTunes Here<br> </a><br> <br>  <br> <br>  <br> <br> <br> <br> Special Thanks to our Network Sponsor, Kiwi Crate!<br>  <br> <br> <br> <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://bit.ly/kiwihomeschool"></a>We'd like to thank our Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network sponsor, Kiwi Crate! <br> <br> KiwiCo has monthly subscriptions of hands-on projects that make learning fun!
